A demonstrator falls as he throws an object during nationwide demonstrations over the rising cost of living and inequality organised by Yellow Vest movement, labour unions and high school and university students, in Bordeaux, southwestern France on October 31, 2026.

France has been rocked by widespread anger over the rising cost of living and inequality. (Photo by Christophe ARCHAMBAULT / AFP)
